Unionville is home to many businesses, frequented by
residents and non-residents alike.
|
The Red Button and The Green Door antique shops are
owned and operated by Tony Barski, a long time
Unionville resident. He offers many unique items,
including an extensive collection of Coca-Cola
memorabilia. Mr. Barski's home, just up the street is one
of the original Unionville homes.
The Old Tavern began as a small log cabin serving food
and offering beds to weary travelers. It has grown in
size over the last century to a beautifully kept
restaurant and shop. The Old Tavern is famous for its
delicious home-made corn fritters served with maple
syrup. While it has undergone many restorations, the
Underground Railroad tunnels are still visible in the
basement. In addition to serving meals daily, there are
party rooms available upstairs. The upstairs ballroom
was uniquely designed to reduce vibration and noise so
as not to wake sleeping overnight guests.
The book Uncle Tom's Cabin is said by some to have
been inspired by a story from Unionville of a slave
trying to escape to Canada. He was held in the Old
Tavern, but released after the trial due to political
differences between the two counties.
Jerry's Unionville Garage is an important landmark in the
community. While it doesn't quite date back as far as the
1800's, the exceptional personal service Jerry Barmess
offers is unique and necessary to Unionville. Notice the
sign sometimes says "Unionville" and sometimes says
"Onionville". This is a reference to the large onion farms
in the area during the 1900's.
Other local businesses include the Warner Concord Farms
Bed and Breakfast, Temple-Inland Paperboard and Packaging Company,
Western Reserve Pole Barns, Basic Machine, and
Phillips and Sons Welding and Fabricating.
